Actress Amanda Seyfried has declared that her new pet puppy is the "love of my life".

The Red Riding Hood star, who is currently in a relationship with Dominic Cooper, said that the dog has taken a special place in her heart.

"I am a new mum to a little Aussie shepherd with a big heart called Finn," she told Moviefone. "He is a little guy with a big heart. He is the love of my life.

"He is going to be big - he is going to be a 50-pounder and I won't be able to pick him up, but that's fine."

Seyfried also recently admitted that another essential part of her life is her BlackBerry.

"I can't get off my CrackBerry because it's always clicking," she said earlier this month. "There's so much texting that some people don't know how to write in cursive anymore. But, I don't know, our technology is incredible now and it's really hard to abandon that."
